elonMusk is not the problem, people who continue to use twitter are!
Oil companies are not the problem, people who still drive their car to work are!
Are you sure about that?
it's different in this case. twitter is nothing without users. oil companies don't just sell car fuel. they also sell oil for plastics, lubricants, fuel for ships and heating, etc.. twitter would die. oil companies would survive.
I agree that people should stop using twitter and if nobody used it, it would stop being relevant. But it still is relevant at this point. We've put a big piece of our "interaction infrastructure" in the hands of a small number of maniacs. If those maniacs misbehave, they need to be punished.
Just nationalize twitter and be done with it.
i'm suspecting elon is trying to run twitter into the ground for the US elections.
